Srinagar, Feb 11: Air travel to and fro Srinagar International Airport was hit due to snowfall Saturday morning as authorities diverted a few flights owing to reduced visibility.
A senior airport official said that visibility has reduced to 500 M while it was continuously snowing. “No flight operations have taken place since morning,” he said, adding, “We are waiting for weather to improve.”
Already a few flights expected to arrive at the airport had to be diverted to New Delhi or Amritsar, he said.

People are advised not to travel on NH-44 without confirmation from TCUs, a traffic police spokesman said.
